Nuggets Wordmark Logo
The Denver Nuggets have had a long and colorful history, which is reflected in the team's wordmark logo. The first iteration of the logo was created in 1975 when the franchise moved from its original home of Buffalo to Denver. This version featured an orange-and-blue basketball with "Denver" written across it, along with a mountain range at the top and bottom.
In 1994, this design was updated to make it more modern looking. The colors were changed to navy blue and gold, while two mountains were added for an emphasis around each letter of "Nuggets". This new look remained until 2003 when yet another update occurred; this time adding silver accents on either side of each letter as well as outlining them all together for even greater visibility.
Finally, in 2012, we saw what has become known today as their current wordmark logo: A bold black font featuring white outlines that give off an edgy vibe that perfectly encapsulates their brand identity today - one built upon tenacity and resilience both on & off the court! With such a rich history behind them now immortalized into their iconic visual identity – there’s no doubt that these Nuggets will continue making waves throughout NBA circles for years to come!
